Iron infusion

So this is my 3rd pregnancy & I've always been anemic each time. But this time I was told to get an iron infusion. I've been taking 2 iron supplements on top of my prenatal that also has iron it in. It's been a little over a month since I started the additional 2 pills but nothing has changed.

How low were your levels when they suggested an iron infusion? Mine is at an 8.8

I have no idea how I'm supposed to get this done with no one to stay with my 2 littles 🤦🏻‍♀️😩
